The Zina Solar Power Station is a 26.6 megawatts solar power plant in Burkina Faso. The power station is owned and was developed by a consortium comprising Amea Power, an independent power producer (IPP), based in the United Arab Emirates and Windiga Energy, an IPP based in Canada. The energy off-taker for this solar farm is Société Nationale d'électricité du Burkina Faso (SONABEL), the Burkinabe national electricity utility company. A 25-year power purchase agreement, governs the terms of the sale of electricity to SONABEL. Financial close for the power station was reached in May 2022.[1][2]

Location

The power station occupies a piece of real estate measuring 70 hectares (170 acres). The solar park is located in the village of Zina, in the Boucle du Mouhoun Region of Burkina Faso, approximately 185 kilometres (115 mi) from Ouagadougou, the country's capital city.[2][3]

Overview

The power station's generation capacity is 26.6 megawatts. Its output is sold directly to the government of Burkina Faso for integration into the national electricity grid, under a 25-year power purchase agreement. The solar park is operated and maintained by Zina Solaire, the special purpose vehicle company (SPV), created by the station developers, to design, fund, build, own, operate and maintain this power station, for the duration of the PPA. It is expected that the power station will provide electricity to 43,000 residents, and will prevent the emission of 13,200 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.[1][2]

Developers

The power station developers formed an ad hoc company to develop, own and operate this power station. They named the ad hoc company Zina Solaire. The ownership of the ad hoc company is as illustrated in the table below.[1][4]
